It's been a long time since I had my GS1000G to recall model differences, but I would guess that the "L" had a more pronounced king/queen seat and possibly a chrome rear fender, rather than the "tail" on the "G".

Got er for 700.00 at a swap meet. Well under 1,500.00 after replacing almost every seal, heads, tires and bearings. A before pic, looks about the same now and a pic of the mock-up of the new front end to be installed soon. I'll get an after shot next week.
